It tastes better

Hand picked at peak ripeness

Coffee cherries on each plant ripen at different rates, so our co-op partners pick by hand, daily, when the cherries are bright red. Large-scale producers strip every cherry at once with machines: ripe, underripe, and overripe mixed together. It saves them money. It costs you flavor.

Roasted to bring out flavor, not hide it

Many coffees are overroasted to mask low quality beans. Ours are crafted consistently from bean to bag, so you taste roundness, balance, and aroma instead of burnt bitterness.

Taste coffee, not chemicals

Every bean is certified organic and shade grown, lovingly tended on small farms. No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers between the farm and your cup.

Small batch roasted in Minneapolis

We roast in small batches at our south Minneapolis roastery. From grading to cupping (coffee speak for tasting), we sweat the details so every cup is consistently delicious.

Coffee lovers can taste the difference

β€œWe try other brands, and other types but we always come back to Peace Coffee Tree Hugger. I love the subtle cocoa taste and the smoothness of this coffee bean.”

It does more good

100% organic, Fair Trade, direct from co-ops

We buy only organic, fair trade coffee from small-scale grower cooperatives. Not some of our lineup. All of it, every sip since 1996.

Partnerships measured in decades

Most coffee is bought through middlemen who pay farmers much less. We work with the same co-ops year after year: 95% of our farmer cooperatives have partnered with us for over five years, and half for over a decade.

Fair prices where it matters most

80% of coffee farming families live below the poverty line. Since 1996 we've paid fair, above-market rates so farmers can reinvest in their farms, their families, and their communities.

TASTES BETTER BECAUSE IT IS BETTER

OUR DIFFERENCE

It's better for the planet (and the neighborhood)

Shade grown, never clear-cut

Our coffee grows in small, naturally forested plots, not on high-sun industrial farms that clear-cut forests and depend on chemicals. Shade trees conserve water, protect soil, and preserve habitat.

Minnesota's first B Corp coffee company

We became a Certified B Corporation in 2017, the first coffee company in our home state to do so, and have been named Best For The World in the Community category four times.
